Today Is ...

In the 1990s, my friend Tom and I used to play games of "Speed" Monopoly, meaning we played the game of Monopoly in the normal way (NOT the official fast way, when you hand out deed cards first). We plays the normal way as fast as we could.

One afternoon in my dad's living room, we played FIVE games in three-and-a-half hours. I lost all five games.

I also have a French version of the Monopoly game (using French Francs) that I purchased in Paris, when I was taking two university courses in Massy, France: "French Conversation and Composition I and II" (six credits in three weeks). That was during the summer of 1984, when I was 23 years old.

I graduated from Villanova University in December 1984 with a bachelor's degree in communications with a minor in the French language. (I took 18 credits/six courses of French.) I would later graduate from the University of Missouri in Columbia in May 1988 with a master's degree in journalism.

I like Mountain Dew, which has a high caffeine content, but I barely drink it these days.
